If you are considering filing for bankruptcy and don’t know which route to take, the following are the top 5 reasons why it’s best to hire a bankruptcy attorney.

1. Bankruptcy Laws are Complicated: The rules on bankruptcy are varied and complex and knowing the filing timeframe, courtroom procedures, and familiarity with the filing process and bankruptcy rules should be handled by a competent bankruptcy attorney.

2. Choosing the Appropriate Bankruptcy Chapter Filing: Depending on the specifics of your case, which bankruptcy filing is best for your case will require an experienced attorney to explain which personal chapter filing is best for your case.

3. Stop Harassing Creditors: Creditors will stop the harassing calls to you once you hire an attorney. Failure to stop the calls once you’ve hired an attorney violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

4. Mistakes are avoided: A wrong filing can lead to a case being dismissed and risking an opportunity to file for any kind of bankruptcy. Attaining the appropriate bankruptcy attorney can save you time, money, and avoid any issues from harming your case.
